"Stella, no."
Atop the bridge at night in the same forest as earlier in the previous chapter, Farouk pushed Stella away lightly while peering sharply. "Stop all this, you know Gloria won't like it." "Your sub-conscious is still caring, hun." She smiled wryly, as her hands brushed his. "You yourself know that Gloria's love seems to be a bit on a cut short foundation… after everything." She stepped closer. "I'm still the one that loved you first, remember?" Farouk set eyes on her frozen. Her closeness… it makes my heart beat. For a moment I would wanna go but guilt's holding me back. They still wore the same clothes as they did that place during the end of the previous chapter. "When are you gonna give in and accept me…? I learnt the truth, after all." "No, it doesn't matter." Farouk raised hands, moving back while shaking his head. She gazed at Farouk's twinkling eyes. He just shook his head slowly, before lowering it, as if in thought. Then-. "RIIINNNG!" The man slipped out a phone from his pocket, seeing a blank profile picture with a phone icon below, tapping it. "Farouk!" Colonel's voice rang through sharply. "We have a problem! We discovered the real name of The Chosen… Lillian Gold." Farouk and Stella stared at the screen. "Also, she's already storming fast for The Labyrinth Castle. Get out of there, now!" Then silence came, signalling the line cut. The duo gazed at each other, as Stella quickly raised her finger. "Gold!" She stepped back with hands coming to her head. "I know that name… I have to come with you, now." She strode with speed past Farouk, ahead of him while he gazed. Squinting for a second, he rushed down to her. What is this all about? "Eheh, again," Stella turned. "How are you going to fight a supernatural being like that when you don't have any supernatural powers?" "Don't worry, I got something up my sleeves… Courtesy of Colonel Edeagwu." With that, they paced down a long and winding narrow dirt-path, bordered by grass, to their journey beyond. *** "I see you're ready to kick things off." Much earlier, in the same concrete walled cubicle that was well lit with a metal table; the same place where Colonel Edeagwu was chatting with Farouk and Gloria. The boy took a black and mildly loose long sleeve shirt with the same circular silver logo. It had a gleaming flexible chest-plate on it, with a silver logo; a sphere and a star inside plastered upon it on the top area of the torso, between the breasts. "That's Optimum's logo." Colonel spoke up. "The chest-plate is equipped with elemental powers for water creation and manipulation." Farouk smiled. "Normally, I would've given this to anyone susceptible to danger from our enemies out there," Colonel continued. "But you have something else that can help us to get a particular key to something in the other multiverse… a relic or so… we'll talk later. Gloria raised her hand. "If this relic opens worlds, what does that mean for all of us who've lost something already…? Also, when did you say The Spawn of The Chosen came again?" "3 months ago, why?" "I'm a history student." She motioned. "Yeah, you're right, she is evil and has bad intentions, but we also learnt that this person actually came 2 years ago, looking for someone who might be willing to help find a way to the other multiverse for a specific purpose… something about a dragon or so." "And what are you hinting at?" Colonel sharply cut in, bending at her. The girl then shook her head. "Nothing sir." "Excellent, let's move." He then walked down to the door quickly, as the others followed. *** Presently, Farouk and Stella were now riding in a small, sleek, streamlined and jet-black car, gleaming in the glow of the early sunrise. At insane and dangerous speeds, the vehicle blasted through in the vast and lofty highway bordered by deserts of sand. Toward a giant and grey walled castle-shaped cylinder of a building it surged for. bout forty feet tall and wide it was, with additional ones surrounding it and small tinted windows atop them. Meanwhile, somewhere on the summit of the biggest ash-coloured building, the buff and tall fair-skinned Segun works for, alongside himself in black combat gear and the one Colonel gave Farouk respectively, gazed down at his car approaching them with binoculars. Their stern and bold eyes revealed as they dropped those things. Segun stepped forth. "So Captain Loyal, these elemental chestplates, yeah." He turned to the man. "You said something about them and lighting." "Just follow my lead." He walked away as the younger strode to him, until-." "POW!" The captain flew back with his face pressed and bruised. Segun gazed, before turning back to the origin of the impact, a blank space with holographic fragments of a man forming instantly. With glitches, the foe's showed to be Colonel Edeagwu's, with his green hard eyes flashing, looking enraged as he gritted. On landing, Loyal looked up, panting. "Who are you, really?" "Someone you thought you wouldn't see face to face again." Colonel smiled turning to Segun who instantly flinched his arm as it glowed blue with small sparks. The hue filled eyed man chuckled. "This bloody illiterate… what now, you're gonna stick up for your old man?" "Well," Segun spoke in a combat pose. "I'm not letting you go to the other multiverse to retrieve the Ender Dragon… fighting the Elemental Teachers on Earth because they took your family and people there. It might kill us all." "Oh, you're right boy… I won't… but he will." He open and moved his hands to a space behind him, showing an end of the roof far ahead before-. "SWOOSH!" Farouk, coated in big lubes of water, wider than his limbs. He swiftly moved around as he looked up in the air with his body straight. His head then lowered at Segun. In a flash, he shot one at a pole behind him. In a second later, he pulled himself there then "KPOOM!", a blow to the boy's chest. From afar, you could find Stella watching, backing a wall as she smiled with crossed legs, while Loyal gazed at Farouk. Instantly though, he gritted, clenching his fist driven in the roof.Giant ice massively erupted in spikes that pushed away Colonel and Farouk. Though he managed to pull with a lube of water to Segun in a blink.
Standing above the defeated, Farouk smugly revealed his teeth. He eyed him, then the next thing you know-. "KABOOM!" Everything scattered in huge chunks across the surface, creating an enormous shock wave, pushing in a fast circumference. As everyone crashed back, a glowing ball of sky blue, the height of an average human. It dissipated, as light circled a tall ebony-skinned female of athletic build with long and wavy black hair. On fully fading away, the illuminating effects vanished to reveal her clearly in sleek but heavily padded black combat armour, grinning from ear to ear as she cackled. She then looked at Loyal, who was a mile away as Loyal gazed at the sudden beauty that just landed in glory, gasping. "Lillian Gold." "Yeah, yeah, you sucker, it's me." Her charismatic and melodic voice sailed as she motioned to him. Lillian then turned to Stella, who's eyes widened, still staring at her. How the woman beamed. "Stella honey." Se called in a high tone. "Don't you miss mummy…? Or should I give a redo of how we did it last time." Everybody gaped at the two, as if stunned. What the hell? Really? What the hell is happening?Latest Chapter

Chapter 35.`OKE `YINYIN, WORLD 5. SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.“You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to, Farouk.” Ajoke’s stern voice.“And when did I tell you I don’t while it’s a need?”The setting was a chilling and frost covered area in heaps and giant rocks, within stalactites and stalagmites of ice. Spec Op, shirtless and barefoot in black baggy trousers stood straight. Hands on his sides, he was in front of a huge, long and streamlined pointy dragon’s head.It was carved out of a stony surface. The glowing blue eyes.“Hmm, it’s okay o.” Ajoke sighed. “What you need to do is impossible with a fire and water amulet… like you haven’t reached that level, self.”“No, but my power level should be enough to comprehend that.”“It’s well… Next, you will have to actually recall how summoning works… The binding chant is your only way to free Cole from Gloria. She won’t be that big a deal for now because she might actually want to kill you.”“Hmm, alright.” Farouk grinned. “I just hope the c
Chapter 34: The Catch in Crimson.
A scene shows the top a rectangular and big deep slate bricked balcony, in evening orange sunlight. Victor and Crimson stood on it, side by side.Draped in a buttoned light brown baggy shirt with black trousers and rolled sleeves was Victor. He gleamed at a pendant that was a green gem in his hand.Crimson in long red robes made a sigh. He faced him. "Your mission is to go back to Earth and steal back that core… but there's a catch."The addressed one beamed. "Tell me more.""Colonel is going to participate." Crimson's cold gaze froze at him. "We cannot exclude him this time." Victor stared down below the structure they were on. His glum face. "You know… I've always wondered.""What's that?""Where's Caleb?""Good question." Crimson rubbed his chin. "I see you are worried, but you'll be safe out here."Victor smiled."If need be, I will annihilate him myself. Then you can have full control of this country."***"You know, something about this mission to find my son seems harder than
Chapter 33: Dragon With my Heart.
Under a huge and chilly snow covered mountain with rasp air, huge boulders with them and giant ice spikes laid about. Inside, Cole and Chiamaka ran around with laughing noises. In thick black sweaters, they hurled snowballs at themselves.With wide smiles, they blushed facing each other. Later, a small buzzing sound came. The man placed a green android phone on his ear. "Hello.""No time… Cole, Sprite's missing, and I'm sure it's Gloria that took him for sure!"His pale face. "I'm coming."He dropped the device. Cole turned to Chiamaka. Her hands on her chest."Sprite's gone." Her gasp. They then ran out.Meanwhile, a streamlined dragon-head faced rock stared at them. As the duo was a mile away, its eyes glowed a glint of orange. Probably hinting at a call.***Elsewhere, a new scene set at a concrete floored balcony with iron railings and an evening setting orange sun. Gloria stood tall gripping them. She scowled.In a pink polo and matching shorts, she stared down. A wide stone br

At a beach's shore, with coloured pebbles, water was sliding back and forth below the midnight sky. A cool breeze soared.Later on, Cole washed up, before his eyes smugly opened. He stood up wearily. Although, with rigid control.From a distance. Chiamaka in a blue long blouse and Sprite, in an orange shirt and green shorts stared at him. They later ran to the man, screaming.On seeing them, he received hugs. He then lightly shifted from his front. He crouched opposite Sprite."What did I tell you on the phone?" He wore panicked eyes. "You're not supposed to be here.""It's my fault." Chamaka's hand on her face. "I hoped it would help him get back on his feet, and…""Well that's, gosh… Look, Gloria is hunting for you and me and he might actually go after-.""Farouk!" Sprite yelled, pointing."Quiet." Cole cut in. "First we're headed to look out for his butt, then we'll teach Gloria a thing or two when she comes by.""No problem." Chiamaka smiled, shaking his hand.With that, worried b
Chapter 31: Loves Breaking Beams.
CINDY'S POV.At this stage, I can't really tell. I don't know if I can maintain true love with Segun's conflict and resolution he's had with Farouk. I think it's because I feel second to Gloria.Look, you know what? Let's just say we've had a blast. I mean, we stopped an alien king, met amazing versions of Farouk coming to war, faced a dean of a school, a violent activist and so much more.The thing is though, I haven't faced my fears and conquest for real love. With Farouk or anyone, but still Farouk.It'll be okay. Hmmm, let's hit it.***LOVE'S ROCKY SCALE AND EYES ON SPRITE.Atop a flat rooftop with grime coated around and roughly textured white concrete surfaces. Gloria, in the breezy and bright hot place and sunlight. She stood in a red tuxedo with a bow tie.She gazed at the view as footsteps dropped beside her. The girl turned, facing Farouk in a grey polo and jeans. He smiled nervously with open arms, walking to her."Yoo, what's good?" He asked. "About that date."Though, Gl
Chapter 30: The Weight of Self Hate.
Within a dimly lit and empty city alley at night. Big cuboid metal boxes with trash, rats and moist concrete roads. A foul stench with cold.Amidst the scene, Cole was beneath Gloria's crotch. Tied up from head to toes by ropes he was. Coated in bruises. She stood, staring down with a disgruntled face. Then breathing from the mouth."Don't worry, your dad would definitely be alright with you looking like a rag doll of a human body." She smiled with hands on her hips. "By the way, what's the rush?""It's Richard." Cole grunted coolly. "There's not enough time to save him before he makes our situation worse for Farouk and this Spec Op guy from a new dimension."He gasped. "He needs you."The girl's face had eyebrows raised, gazing at Cole before footsteps walked."And so do I." A deep Nigerian male accent followed from the shadows. From there Loyal in a navy blue T shirt, trousers and black boots came from. His hands in his pockets.Gloria's face went straight. "What really happened?"
